This is guaranteed to be an exciting fight. If Tim wants to try and protect the belt and "not lose" as opposed to win, The Truth will KO him.

I voted Tim Sylvia will win via KO, some of you may disagree but Vera in my eyes hasn't proved himself enough to be the Heavyweight champion. Sure his last fight against Mir was impressive but like ive said before, Frank Mir has gone downhill. Brandon Vera might lose just because of his inexperience.

Vera is at a reach and height disadvantage so I don't see him using Thai clinch or knees. Vera will probably use his kicks, similar to how GSP did against Hughes. Chop Sylvia down and try some high kicks too, hurt Tim and then go for a takedown. Vera by submission.

why isnt there a submission win for sylvia?:confused: .......just playing :laugh: vera by submission i see vera pushing the pace then rocking him and going for the submission
What's the name of the submission where the guy on top lays on his opponent and does nothing but spin around like Curly from the Three Stooges? What ever its called Sylvia could submit Vera that way.:laugh:


The Curly Shuffle!

If Tim decides not to be so cautious he could win by KO. Sylvia has the tools to do it! He just needs to start using them again!!

good thing there's a cage or else Tim will just be running just to aviod contact...how embarassing was it for him to be told in 2 consecucutive fights by the refs that "this is a fight...so fight!"

I want to see it happen as much as anyone else, that would be Vera kicking Sylvias ass all over the octagon, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I said it once and I'll say it again, Sylvia has a complete, unfair advantage over most of the heavyweights in the UFC, due to his height and reach advantage. Tricky thing is, he's too much of a soft, conceited, "do enough to win" ogre and doesn't use those advantages in order to finish fights, so it would seem recently.

He limited himself against Monson, he'll do the same with Vera. Face it guys, Vera is not going to take him down, if they do get in the clinch Sylvia will escape it, Vera will do everything he can to make the fight exciting while Sylvia stands there with his soft jabs, and think "Well if I do this for about 23 more minutes I can edge out a decision".

Sylvia by decision.

I voted Sylvia by decison as well ... I agree that Tim's size is something most heavyweights have been unable to deal with .. even someone as talented as Arlovski, you could see the difficulties he faced with the reach and the fact that Tim can just keep everyone off of him with his jab. Very difficult to fight someone who has a height / reach / weight advantage that he brings
